Another Day at Home

This morning Evan was complaining again about not feeling well so he stayed home.

I walked Noah to school.

We got a 9am doctor's appointment for Evan.  Morry went to Camp Gladiator and I took Evan to the doctor.

The doctor did an exam, x-ray, and blood work.  Basically, Evan is just constipated, but the key is finding out why.  The x-ray looked normal besides the constipation.  We are getting him tested for Celiac.  The doctor said it would be a good idea to try a gluten free diet for a month or so and see if that helps.  He also suggested Evan take more Miralax.

We got back just in time for a phone meeting.

After the meeting, I cleaned up around the house some and made lunch for Evan.  Then, I left for a meeting up north at Home Away.  The traffic getting there was horrible since it was raining.

After Home Away I left for tutoring.  Again, the traffic was horrible because it was raining hard again.

I tutored two students and then met Noah, Morry, Evan, Grandma, and Papa at Noah's school performance.  The third graders were doing a Disney musical performance.

It was cute and only lasted about 30 minutes.

When we got home we made dinner - baked potatoes and pork.

Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures from today.

Not A Whole Lot

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, the boys got up a bit before 8am. They decided it was a good idea to play right outside of our room and be really loud. We ended up telling them to go in the game room and closed our door and slept a bit more. I got up when they were arguing and fighting because Noah wanted to lay on the couch with Evan.

We came downstairs and Evan and Noah played outside while Rachel got brunch ready for us and I folded clothes. Rachel used the juicer to make fresh squeezed orange juice and we had cinnamon rolls and fruit.

After lunch, I went upstairs to continue cleaning the office. Evan came upstairs with me and watched as I shredded old documents. Noah stayed downstairs with Rachel.

Eventually, Rachel put Noah in his room for a nap. Noah fought it at first and then fell asleep at the gate. After about 30 minutes to an hour Noah work up and cried to come out for another 45 minutes. Evan and I were playing with the Wii at that time and eventually, I went and let him out of his room.

For dinner, we went to Verde's Mexican Parilla. We had been there once before. They have outdoor seating. Just past the outdoor seating is a huge open, fenced-in field. They have all kinds of balls just laying out - soccer balls, footballs, volleyballs, frisbees. The boys had a blast. While we were waiting for a table, Evan and I had a catch with the football. He can really catch the ball. We were having the catch about 15 feet from each other and it was a nearly full-size ball. I was impressed.

We got seated but were still sitting on the patio. The boys played with some other boys until the food arrived. They came back and ate and then went back out and played some more until we paid and were ready to leave. Our food was really good. I had a honey chipotle glazed pork chop. I was really impressed.

We came home and gave the boys baths. Evan is throwing a fit because Noah has a Lego door that Evan wants.

Until next time...

School and Tutoring

I dropped Evan off at school and then Noah and I just came back home and did stuff around the house. I cleaned and did laundry. Noah played. He was in good mood this morning.

We ate lunch and then picked up Evan. Evan had made some Mother’s Day stuff for me. One was a laminated paper with his handprints on them.

On the way home and at home Evan was very cranky. He kept wanting different things and whining if he couldn’t have them.

I put Noah down for a nap first, then Evan. Noah slept well. I thought Evan was going to nap, but then I heard him playing at his door.

He was whining to come out and play Geo Trax. I let him play while I got ready for tutoring.

Blanca came at 4. I tutored on student and got home after 6:00. Traffic was bad for some reason.

We had pork loin chops and biscuits for dinner.

The boys just had baths and now they are in bed.

Tonight, I’m going over to Alissa’s to help her get organized for the garage sale on May 16.
